is this even possible?

[bmcgarvey at gmail.com (Brian McGarvey)]

I can tell you that they are the same interchangable bits..(ie. they
fit) the cabby has all 4 corners that weigh.. somewhat more.. Maybe...
we need somebody to look up the curb weight.. and see what the
differences are. The motor is an 8v.. which does weigh less than the
16v, but there are re-enforcing panels along the strut towers and
outside edge frame rails, and rear shock mounts.
